DVD Reviews of Biography - The Kellogg Brothers: Corn Flake Kings
DVD Review: Making Cornflakes and Avoiding the Bedroom
Summary: 2 Stars
I don't think most people ask themselves, "I wonder how corn flakes were invented?" It was hard to get excited about the documentary. I mean, the Kellogg brothers were not Marilyn Monroe, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., or Pocahontas. Still, this may be good for history fanatics and fans of camp.
This documentary did not avoid Dr. Kellogg's anti-sex campaigns. They mention his hatred of mastering the domain and advocacy of enemas, though they never mention the term klismatophilia.
This documentary is lopsided, focusing on one brother far more than the other. Like many Biography episodes, this one interviews a biographer and several living relatives of the subject. I usually think documentaries that have actors dressed in period pieces recreating things are cheesy. This documentary avoids that tactic, but it did move more slowly because of it. Seeing one still photo after the next got boring.
Many brilliant people make useful statements and stupid statements. Sigmund Freud and Margaret Mead are other examples. If you avoid throwing the baby out with the bath water, Dr. Kellogg was quite an interesting person and this documentary becomes worthwhile.
